So, if I read the Mass. rules correctly, someone like Mark Rippetoe who has been a strength coach and trainer for 30 years could not get licensed in Mass. because his undergraduate degree from 30 years ago is in engineering (I think) rather than a related degree?
It would appear from the wording that you could complete a short term (like 4-6 month) "approved certificate program" (sure to start cropping up all over the place) and qualify but a four-year degree in a non-related field with decades of experience would not qualify you.
Continuing with the hypothetical, does the Mass. legislation prohibit someone from training without a license? Or could you train but not have the distinction of being a licensed Personal Trainer? I can't tell from the link provided.
